Folk Art Trivet

Description

Ceramic Tile with Cork Back

This trivet is a tribute to Harley Refsal: author (including two books above), teacher, carver extraordinaire, and recipient of the St. Olav Medal of Honor. Depicting Refsal at work, artist Suzanne Toftey has accurately captured the likeness of Refsal and his characters. Reviving the art of flat-plane carving, Refsal is best known for his carvings of rural people who emigrated from Norway a century ago.
